ing joints 32. Diagonal braces 28 which are pivoted to how 2 at 33 and to bow 5 at 34, serve to sustain the latter in the inclined position desired.

It will be seen that by the peculiar con,- struction described, the intermediate bow 5 will effectively support the canvas top and relieve the latter as well as the several hinges from undue strain.

I claim:

A vehicle hood comprising a rear bow, an articulated intermediate bow having rear members that are pivoted to said rear how, an articulated outrigger bow having rear members that are pivoted to the intermediate bow, and braces that pivotally connect the intermediate bow with the rear bow.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesshs.
